Will you be BRILLIANT or STUPID in a situation?

Most of us with average intelligence, adequate skills can perform
consistently at a socially acceptable satisfactory standard.

When that comfort zone is yanked away suddenly, confusing
chaos and numbing shock slice through our senses into our inner core like a
vicious stab of molten metal.

We have seen how people react in this crisis situation. Some
become blubbering idiots. Some go into comatose shock. Some go in a blinding
rage. Only some are calm and objective.So we infer, many are STUPID in a crisis. Only a few can be BRILLIANT under stress.

Performance under STRESS

The scenario training with realistic visualization and
familiarity building repetitions play a critical role in conditioning body and
mind to function in a semi-automated state. This neuro-muscular zone of
reaction cannot be achieved in short term.

The experienced trainer will not hand hold the trainee but
force him to learn by constantly pushing their complacency thresholds, till the
technique fails.

Preparing for REALITY

The first level of learning is to know how a technique
works.
The second level of learning is to know how a technique fails.

So, a trainee who has ...1) repetitively trained to adapt for variations, 2) apply
aggression with commitment - to address an issue to conclusion has more chances
of reacting even in a semi-auto mind state with surprising BRILLIANCE!

The Dynamics of Police encounters - Part 2
The background of encountered criminals - Venkatesh PannaiyarThis was an encounter which resulted in the transfer of the charismatic Vijayakumar IPS, the then Commissioner of Police, Chennai. Read on to understand how the police fight crime with one arm tied behind their back. Also how the media, which cant shed its caste and community prejudices, packed off an efficient officer from the state itself, in spite of delivering whatever assignment given to him. VENKATESH PANNAIYAR - THE BACKGROUND
The diminutive and nattily dressed Venkatesh Pannaiyar won’t physically fit the prevalent image of a don.
But he is a product of generations of caste feud plaguing Southern TamilNadu. His family is from Moolakarai near Tuiticorin; an area with the dubious reputation for making country bombs and gun running.
Venkatesh's uncle, grandfather - important elders of their community have been murdered by Dalits, when he was a boy. Venkatesh, grew up as a…

Uma Maheswari’s murder in Siruseri IT Park, Chennai has
provoked lots of opinions in the media. The public take a vicarious pleasure in
gleefully pointing a finger at the IT/BPO sector, “These IT companies don’t bother about their employees’ safety. They
just want to make money.”My question to these
people is simple.
Atleast 5 to 6 lakh people are working in IT/ITES sector in
Chennai and suburbs. Chennai population is 46 million with another 15 million working and residing in Chennai.. So we can say around 10% of Chennai
population is working in IT related companies. The murder statistics point out that around 200 homicides happen in Chennai
annually. So how can one expect that
such a big chunk of population, of which 30% are women, be insulated from
crime?!
Even by a simple back-of-the-envelope-calculation 2 lakh
women are employed in IT/ITES sector. How can one expect that there cannot be
an aberration? If murders of IT women are happening in a pattern, there is some
substance in b…

Which is effective in a fight -Gross motor skills or Fine Motor skills?
This is an argument going on for ages, amongst martial arts instructors. Much
has been said on both sides. Now I am adding my own thoughts to this argument,
with the benefit of having practiced Karate and KravMaga and the hind-sight
acquired after having taught KravMaga to civilians and police. Actually experts say there are 3 levels of motor skills - Fine, Complex and Gross.Here is my simple description which explains the 3 motor skills in the context of fighting(click for readable view) .To make it even
simpler –1. Practice = swimming on dry land 2. Sparring = swimming in a shallow swimming pool3. Actual fight = trying to survive in rough waves, blindfolded!See how complex skills fail in an actual crisis, even for trained police men!

"So, I need NOT
learn fine movements?!"
Let me clarify that I am NOT against teaching Fine motor skills. The more time
spent in exercising fine and complex motor skills will…
